New research by Roy Morgan shows that satisfaction levels for mobile banking users was 90.3% in September 2019, ahead of interactions via internet banking (89.0%), branches (86.4%), a personal banker/advisor (78.9%) and phone banking (80.4%). Mobile banking is now used by 45.9% of Australians aged 14+ in an average four-week period, compared to only 20.6% who use branches. Customers of all four of the major banks have higher satisfaction with mobile banking compared to those using branches. Internet banking users also have higher satisfaction than those using branches. These are some of the latest findings from Roy Morgan’s ‘Service Satisfaction Report-Consumer Banking Market September 2019’. This report is based on data collected from Roy Morgan’s Single Source survey, which involves in-depth interviews conducted face-to-face with over 50,000 consumers each year in their homes. The results presented here are from interviews conducted in the six months to September 2019.

Surveyed in September, Australians as a whole said they expected inflation to increase by 4% annually over the next two years. This is up very slightly (0.1%) on how they were feeling the previous month, but it is down a little (0.3%) on their expectations a year earlier. However there was a notable difference in the expectations of home owners compared to renters, with the latter taking a much more pessimistic outlook. Renters expect inflation to rise 4.7% over the next two years, while home owners expect inflation of 3.8% and those paying off mortgages are expecting only a 3.4% rise. September Inflation Expectations are based on personal interviews with a nationally representative sample of 4,012 Australians aged 14+. October survey responses will reveal the effect of the RBA’s decision to cut interest rates earlier this month, the third such cut this year, taking them to a record low of 0.75%.

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 15-Oct-19

New research from Roy Morgan shows that 42% of Australians aged 14+ now support legalisation of marijuana, up 9% points in just four years. The percentage who say marijuana should remain illegal is down 7% over the same period, to 49%. A further 9% are undecided. Australians aged 18-34 are the most likely to support the legalisation of marijuana. This is also the segment of the population where opinion has shifted to the greatest degree over the last four years. In 2015 only 36% of 18 to 24 year-olds supported legalisation, now 50% do. The next age-group, 25 to 34 year-olds, has also seen a dramatic rise in support, from 34% in 2015 to 46% now. These are the two age groups in which support for legalisation is higher than opposition to the idea. Perhaps surprisingly, the two groups most opposed to the legalisation of marijuana are the youngest and oldest Australians. Only a little over a quarter of 14-17yr olds (26%) and a third of those aged 65+ (33%) support such a move. These are the latest findings from the Roy Morgan Single Source survey, derived from in-depth face-to-face interviews with over 50,000 Australians each year in their homes.

Research by Roy Morgan shows that back-to-back NRL Premiers the Sydney Roosters have 261,000 supporters; their opponent in the 2019 Grand Final, the Canberra Raiders, have only 132,000 supporters, ranking them 15th in the league. Support for the Roosters is also more evenly divided on gender lines, with women comprising 45% of Roosters’ supporters compared to only 40% for the Raiders. The admission of the Roosters to the inaugural NRL Women’s competition in 2018 has boosted the club’s engagement with women. Meanwhile, Raiders’ fans have demonstrated a higher commitment to the game, with 31% going to NRL matches and 82% watching the NRL on TV. In contrast, only 24% of Roosters’ fans go to NRL matches and 71% watch NRL on TV. These are the latest findings from Roy Morgan’s Single Source survey, which is based on in-depth personal interviews conducted face-to-face with over 50,000 Australians each year in their own homes.

New research from Roy Morgan shows that customer satisfaction among Australians aged +14 who have private health insurance was 72.2% in August 2019, compared with 70.9% in August 2018. However, it is still lower than satisfaction rates in August 2016 (74.5%) and August 2015 (76.3%). Customer satisfaction with private health insurance reached its lowest point in June 2018, when it hit 70.5%. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine says Tasmanian not-for-profit fund St Lukes Health is performing far above average, with a satisfaction rating of 86%. These findings come from the Roy Morgan Single Source survey, which is based on in-depth face-to-face interviews with over 50,000 Australians each year in their homes.

Affordability continues to be a key barrier for improving digital inclusion in Australia

The Australian Digital Inclusion Index is a comprehensive picture of Australians’ online participation through three measures – access, affordability and digital ability. It looks at trends across demographics including age, geography, socio-economics, people with a disability and Indigenous Australians. In the four years since the benchmark for measuring digital inclusion in Australia was launched, affordability is the area where significant improvements have not been made. The ADII is based on data from more than 16,000 Australians captured in the annual cycle of the Roy Morgan Single Source survey, and is produced by RMIT University’s Digital Ethnography Research Centre and the Centre for Social Impact at Swinburne University in partnership with Telstra and Roy Morgan.
